Sense Beach House - Miami Beach

The hotel rooms are very noisy: the doors may as well be open they let so much hall noise through. The hotel was tastefully updated, but very cheaply... good to look at from afar, but far from good.

Location was in a perfect spot. Close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The front desk girl was beautiful and very helpful. Over all, very satisfied.

Just a bit south of the craziness that is Lummus Park, at the corner of Ocean Drive and 4th, sits the serene Sense Beach House. Our blue and white cinder-block room was nothing special. It actually felt like a college dorm, but it was clean and the bathroom with overhead shower was spacious (beware: we were offered a free "upgrade" to a room with an […] ocean view and balcony, but what we weren't told, until we asked, was that it meant giving up our king size bed and settling for a double...so we declined). No, the charm of this hotel is in the design, decor, and atmosphere. It's peaceful and chic. The beach is just a short walk across the street, and the hotel provides towels and folding chairs. There's plenty of shopping on Collins Ave (just a block away). Valet parking was $29, but they get your car to you as often as needed in 10-15 minutes. The rooftop pool is only three feet deep but it's a nice place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. We weren't thrilled with the young ladies who "manned" the front desk (too often, there seemed to be no one on duty), but when our ironing board fell apart, they were quick to deliver a replacement. If you don't want to pay the high prices at the luxury hotels with their private beaches, but don't want to put up with the loud music and crowded sidewalks north of 5th, then Sense Beach House offers a comfortable alternative.

close but not in the heart of the beat of south beach.

Stayed for 2 nights with my girlfriend. Service was fine, but nothing exceptional. If anything the staff was very nice, just not super quick or sharp. Room was large, really cool laid back vibe. Restaurant is casual, relatively cheap, and good. Rooftop pool is a hidden gem. Beach is across the street, and the hotel gives you a little beach bag with […] towels and chairs--helpful! Only problem we had was that the water temp in the shower was either really hot or really cold. Read more

I was very satisfied with the Sense Beach House. As soon as you walk through the door you get an amazing whiff of just a calming smell. The lobby area was recently renovated and is like a quaint beach house. The beds are super comfortable (kind of like a memory foam) and the rooms are smartly decorated. For the price and proximity to the beach--I highly […] recommend this hotel! Read more

It exceeded our expectations. Very comfortable bed, bathroom well done, very clean. Had a nice balcony. Big flat screen mounted on wall easy to see. Would definitely go again.

What a great hotel! Perfect location and exceptional service.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

RATE 4.5/5.0 From entrance to exit, from the welcome to the farewell, the experience exceeded my expectations. The people who make this beach house the wonderful place that it is offered warmth, kindness, laughter and thoughtfulness every day (not easy for the best of us). Equally as impressive was the presentation and taste of the food (absolutely […] delectable), not to mention the charm and sparkling smile of the Chef herself. When the time came to return to the chill of the NorthEast, we hugged our new found friends knowing that we had discovered a real treasure. Read more

Cute hotel. Food at restaurant was super yummy and decent priced. Everything is easily walking distance. Beach is right across the road.

Great bath with rain shower head, memory foam mattress, outstanding food will now be my first choice for trips to Miami

They were helpful and friendly. Great location. I have traveled a lot and this was a very good value. Often there is a little problem here or there. None here during our visit.

Wonderful boutique hotel! Very personal service! Staff was excellent especially Mernie at the reception who made you feel welcome and very comfortable. Great location just outside of crowds and noise and an easy walk to the Beach! Hope to return!

The hotel is small but newly updated and modern. The room was very nice, especially for the price. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. The new restaurant had good food and the staff was amazing. We will definitely stay here again.

Had a truly great time here. The rooms (bed, decor, bathroom, balcony) are fantastic. The hotel staff were outstanding.

We had a great time. The room was gorgeous ( I loved the overhead showerhead ) and the staff was very accommodating. They even printed out our boarding passes for our flight along with the weather forecast for NY. I will definitely be back!

I have been in many other hotels in Miami but the Sense hotel is one of the best for its price. Fantastic place

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We came down to South Beach for a day in the sun and an evening out and Sense was the perfect place to stay. It's quiet, yet a block from the beach and two blocks from the Ocean Drive madness. Highly recommended and would definitely stay there again.

From check in, to cab advise, to check out - Perfecto!

Enjoyed our stay at Sense for 6 nights. Staff was wonderful and helpful. Even though they were adding a small restaurant, we were never disturbed by it. Great location.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Was very surprised by this smaller hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the staff was so sweet.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a smaller boutique hotel located in SOBE. The building appears to have been fully renovated within the past few years. Since it is a smaller hotel, you don't have the typical services and amenities of a much larger hotel. However, the price is very reasonably considering it is located one block from the beach and close proximity to the restaurants […] and shops. It is is a very good choice if you do not plan to spend all of your time at the hotel. We would recommend this hotel and plan to stay here again next time we come to Miami. Read more

I found The Sense Hotel while doing my research online. My friends and I really did enjoy our stay there. We were aware that this was a fairly new hotel but we decided to see what it had to offer. During our stay we did notice a few things that will need to be added over time but we did take in consideration that everything is a growing process and […] I do see a lot of potential at this resort. Being that we were a room full of females of course we would suggest more mirrors outside the bathroom, a few more trash cans, hiring more room service staff, adding some color to the room (art work, paintings, etc), and a storage for toiletries. Overall the resort is in an excellent location, directly on the strip near plenty of restaurants, shopping stores, and activities. The room and bathroom were clean and the bedding was extremely comfortable. In addition, the staff was extremely courteous, pleasant and helpful so as long as their team continues to work together I'm sure this resort will be a five star hotel in no time. Keep up the good work! : ) Read more

Room is modern and clean with balcony, has it own pool at the rooftop. the hotel is very close to the beach and very quite at night

Genuine Expedia guest review

Sense has the potential for being a great little hotel. Currently under construction, the hotel has a way to go. The room was clean, but the pipes rattled all night, the door dead bolt didn't work, the TV is at best confusing and some of the amenities in room were missing. The lobby is gettting a little restaurant soon. The Wi-Fi worked great. The biggest […] problem were the drunks in the hotel. If you like to party and want to come home at 1AM and be loud, go for it., otherwise spend a little more money and eliminate the trash. Read more

A great experience in south beach. Friendly helpful staff and a beautiful pool area made for a great time in a lively area. The art in the lobby was R-rated and should be considered if you are traveling with children.

Absolutely the BEST!!! Location is one block from the beach. Service was top notch. Make sure you can when you land so that your room will be ready. We had to wait till one was ready. Wasn't a problem considering how nice the room was when we got it. Very contemporary and the women love it fellas! Pool on the roof was a real nice plus. Balcony off the […] room was great for people watching and having cocktails prior to hitting the strip. Located just far enough down the strip where at night if you want quiet you can have it. Two blocks from Liquor store to fill the in room refrigerator. Staff have no problems making your reservations for dining, cab etc.Simply the best kept secret of South Beach for couples and singles. Not really geared for the family trip. So if its you wifey and the kids, this probably isnt the hotel for you. I cant wait to go back!!!!!! Read more

The staff was very friendly & informative. Anthony went out his way to get prices for local tourist attractions & scheduled a cab once we were ready to depart.We were upgraded to an Ocean View room for free without asking & given a late check-out for free as well. We spent majority of our time walking because everything was very close. Only 1 block […] walk to the beach and very close to all the restaurants & shopping. I would only recommend this hotel for couples or a girls/guys weekend, not for younger children. I will definitly return my next trip to Miami!! Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

the only complaints that I had: there is no mirror in the room and the tv remote is extremely difficult to use. the concierge, Anthony, is outstanding and deserves kudos. he is a jack of all trades and could not have been more pleasant and helpful. they should consider opening their breakfast bar in the afternoon and serve beverages.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was very nice for the value. The location afforded plenty of opportunity to take in all that South Beach had to offer. The rooms were nice and well appointed. The staff did an amazing job at anticipating our every need. The hotel is definitely worth a stay.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Do not bring children to this hotel since the artwork is x-rated !!! They have large framed photographs of nude women in the lobby. These are photographs and not paintings. I think they need to remove these photos from the hotel. There are some good qualities of the hotel. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the location was great, one block […] from the beach. Also it was relatively quiet at night, it was located a few blocks away from where the loud clubs were, so we could sleep. The air conditioner was a little loud though. Also they let us use beach chairs and an umbrella for free. The staff was nice. someone locked the room safe and the staff could not open it, so they let us use their safe downstairs. Read more

This hotel is in a great location, but the room decor is more focused on being chic than comfortable. Check-in was problematic, as we walked into an uncleaned room. Housekeeping staff was very unfriendly.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great Hotel, location and customer service Hotel is perfect to spend the weekend with the family or your partner

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location was great, however the carpet outside the rooms could use some improvements. There isn't a bar on site, but they make up for it by providing drinks on the room. Other than that the hotel is lovely. The price was not suitable for the room ,but I made due. The rooms are indeed true to scale / clean bedding, and the sheets were crisp . I would […] rate the room a 3.7 The staff was awesome - super friendly and welcoming Read more

To its price and 3.5 star, I have to say it is not worthy at all. No kitchen in the hotel. The worse is the light in the bathroom, it is sound automatic. It won't turn off after you leave. And the bathroom wall is glass and the light can penetrate through and affect your sleep. If you don't have a problem with it, it is fine. The wall is not sound approved. […] Somebody walk or speak in the hallway, it gets pretty noisy. It is right at the south edge of the ocean drive. Big building in the front blocking the view of the ocean. The staff seems nice, but not professional. It feels like a motel instead of hotel, but it charges as 3.5 star hotel price. I think it is rediculous. Plus it is still under construction, making you feel unsaft and unconformtable. Read more

If you are looking for a place to stay near the beach for an affordable price, within walking distance of everywhere in south beach, then this is the hotel for you.
